Parker VS269AB-6-6 Compression Male Elbow 3/8-18 Nptf Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS269AB-6-6 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed for use in pneumatic and hydraulic tubing systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. It connects a compression tube end to a male NPTF threaded port, providing a reliable, leak-resistant joint in pressure lines. With a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when routing tubing around obstructions or terminating at threaded components on equipment, valves, or manifolds.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where DOT-rated components are required, including brake and air lines, refrigeration tubing runs, and fuel or hydraulic service lines. The compression-by-male-NPTF configuration is common in systems that must meet DOT FMVSS 571.106 and SAE J246 standards. Its brass construction resists corrosion in both wet and dry service conditions, making it appropriate for plumbing, HVAC, and fluid power installations where code-compliant, pressure-rated fittings are specified.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in plumbing and fluid service environments
• Compression x Male NPTF end connections for secure, leak-resistant tube-to-port joints
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets DOT FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread size for compatibility with standard NPT-threaded ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems requiring DOT FMVSS571.106- and SAE J246-compliant compression-to-male NPTF elbow connections with a 3/8-18 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fluid power technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely, and that the compression sleeve is seated correctly before tightening the nut. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves; do not over-tighten, as this can crack brass fittings or distort the tube seat.
